Any further thoughts about the Absolute Rack? I saw one recently. Looked pretty good. All 300 lbs of it.

At the Wilson Audio Chronosonic XVX + Air Force Zero demo at the Tokyo International Audio Show 2019, the Air Force Zero was placed on a tailor-made Artesania Organic Series Absolute Rack :

Interestingly they are using the new HSE phono but also the feet of the phono are resting directly on the rack supports. I wonder if they tried resting the base on the rack supports instead? Those rack supports can move sideways and back and forth so they can adjust to any piece of gear.

Yes, can suit most components and also for fine-tuning the sound.

The support mechanisms please refer to the photos on #5.

Techdas asked Artesania to paint the panzerholz parts of the custom-made Absolute Rack for AF Zero black in colour.
They thought that this matched the black+gold colour theme of AF Zero more.

However I think the panzerholz's original wood pattern is not bad.
:D

These info is from WBF member TLi. He went to attend the Tokyo Show.

I don't know what they use in the AF1 custom rack, but it is extremely inert and sounds different from the Daiza when I tap it. Anyway I am very happy with the Artesania piano black finish, fortunately the dark finish Daiza also disguises pretty well the Panzerholtz wood pattern ...
